*Jonah crab and rock crab (a.k.a. peekytoe crab) are two species that have become available to restaurant chefs in recent years, but are not necessarily available in consumer markets. In a crab cake, they help to reduce the cost of lump crab meat while still providing delicious flavor. Toward this end, you can substitute Miller Select’s Special White crab meat.
Preparation
- Gently mix crab meat, scallion, egg, mayonnaise and Old Bay Seasoning in a bowl. Form crab cakes by hand, to approximately three inches in diameter, and set aside.
- Spread bread crumbs or panko on a nonstick surface and lightly dab cakes in the crumbs to cover.
- Clarify butter by melting in a very small sauce pan. Skim off the milk solids that float to top. Then pour butter into sauté pan and reheat. (NOTE: You can purchase clarified butter in an specialty food store, or ghee (the Indian word for clarified butter) in an Indian food market.
- Place crab cakes in pan and cook for six minutes on each side.
- Put two crab cakes on a plate garnished with tartare sauce and cole slaw. Add some green garnishes and/or slices of tomato for color. Serve with a lemon wedge.
